Boys want to join Cub Scouting because it's fun! Parents like the program because it prepares young people for life—providing their sons with a positive, safe and structured environment that teaches life skills and values.

Coordinated recruitment campaigns bring together best practices and resources from across the council to ensure that every boy who wants to join Cub Scouting has the opportunity to do so. It’s up to Scouting leaders from all levels of the organization to make sure we provide opportunities for youth and families to join this great program. The key is to ask!

To help all packs get their new Scouts started off, the Cradle of Liberty Council will provide free Bobcat Rank Badges for these Scouts. In order to receive these badges:

Applications for new Scouts must be turned in to a council staff member or the Scout resource service center no later than October 31, 2014.

Staff members will issue a coupon for free badges for the number of new applications received.

After Scouts complete the requirements for Bobcat, leaders can turn in a Unit Advancement Report and coupon to the front desk at the Firestone Scout Resource Center in Valley Forge to redeem free badges.
